Sure. The first drive was really cheap, so I got it on local shop without even noticing it did not have power connector. But then I found this adaptor and got it working - it has special jumper providing power to such type of drives (has to be unset for ordinary drives) So when I tested it and it …

Unintentional necroupdate: it was a GART driver all along, scores are back to normal (and a BIOS downgrade, which my board took gracefully without dropping CPU support, neat)

G'day, everybody. Struggling to break 16k points with HD4650 AGP and pretty killer CPU, Phenom X3 8750BE @ 3.2Ghz (X4 970 to arrive). I was getting way more points with dual core CPUs, but had to deal with stutter issues. What gives? Can any AM2NF3 afficionado clue me in?

Yeah, my initial guess was spot on, BIOS update is what I really needed. Even Pentium E6800 is working now, no warnings and all. Big thanks to Horun. Great ! Did you go with the latest Bios 3.1 ? Can you post a picture of your new boot up screen please ? Just so others who may stumble on this …

Except, there is a small problem. It says KINO-9454-R10, mine is R20. Only way to find out. Got lots more CPUs on hand, but obviously, they wouldn't work due to FSB or just lower frequencies in general. As in, I'm not just shoving random ones in it.

A bios upgrade may help, your BIOS is dated January 2008. Both E5700 and E6800 are FC-LGA8 from mid 2010 and called "Pentium Dual-Core" where E6400 is FC-LGA6 from 2006 and is Core 2 Duo. Here is the IIEI Tech website with BIOS, last one was Nov. 2009. https://download.ieiworld.com/ (and enter Kino …

Dipped into industrial tech, got burned. But the premise... I couldn't resist. It's a t!ny board with dual Gbit NICs, PCIe x16, 4 SATA ports, RAID ready (supposedly), but no drivers on hand. Please, be so k!nd, help me to get through this.

Personally, I think that true RAM disks are principally superior to SSDs. Well, Intel Optane is still a thing. Intel Optane is still just an nVME SSD with better 4k read response compared to regular nVME drives form what I can tell. Nowhere near as fast as a RAM drive would be. Also, there last …
